Match result prices supplied by Sportingbet, correct at the time of publication but subject to change.
Newcastle 38/10 Draw 32/10 Man City 0.63/1
Newcastle's unbeaten start came to an end at Fulham in Round 5 when they went down 3-1 and they slipped from third to sixth. They edged out Southampton and Spurs by single goal margins in two earlier home games.
City's last gasp equalizer in last week's 2-2 draw at home to 10 man Arsenal preserved their long unbeaten record at the Etihad but it was was the first time they have dropped points in the league this season. They remain top, 1 point clear of Liverpool and Arsenal and two earlier road trips delivered wins at Chelsea (2-0) and West Ham (3-1).
The Verdict
Rodri was injured last week and will be a long term absentee for City. Phil Foden has been getting more minutes and I'm pretty sure he will start here and hopefully register a couple of shots on target against a Newcastle side who were poor last week.
Bets Player to have 2 or more shots on target, Phil Foden was 1.45/1 now 1.75/1 with Sportingbet
Arsenal 1 / 5 Draw 6.75/1 Leicester 13/1
Arsenal pulled every trick in the book and came within a minute or so of winning away at City but given they played more than half the game a man down it was a very decent defensive performance and a more than useful point. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of their first 5 EPL matches and they kept clean sheets in all 3 of those wins.
Leicester have 3 points from a 1-1 draw at home to Spurs, a 2-2 draw away to Palace and last week's 1-1 draw at home to Everton and they now face their biggest test of the season so far.
The Verdict
Trossard's red card saw Arsenal on the back foot for more than half of last week's clash with City and the Gunners have a couple in the treatment room. Still, they ought to see Leicester off and Saka gets the nod to find the net.

Brentford 12/10 Draw 5/2 West Ham 21/10
Brentford have scored 2 goals in the first minute of their 2 most recent matches but both ended in defeat, 2-1 away to Man City and then 3-1 at Spurs. They have won both their home games so far, against Palace (2-1) and Southampton 3-1).
West Ham put in a tame performance in last week's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea and a 5-1 defeat at Liverpool in the EFL Cup in midweek sees their coach under mounting pressure. All 4 of their league points came from their 2 road trips, both London derby matches at Palace (won 2-0) and a trip to Fulham ended all square at 1-1.
The Verdict
Having sold Toney and with Wissa injured Brentford might be a bit short of firepower. West Ham are hardly in the sort of form where you could back them with any confidence but their first 2 league games away from home at least offers some cause for optimism.
Brentford have yet to keep a clean sheet and Jarrod Bowen is the goalscorer pick here.

Chelsea 7/10 Draw 31/10 Brighton 34/10
Chelsea moved into the top 5 with their 3-0 win at West Ham and they seem to be getting their act together. However they are still looking for a first home win after they were held (1-1) by Palace and they lost 2-0 to Man City in earlier games at Stamford Bridge.
Brighton remain unbeaten and they have taken 9 points from their first 5 matches. They might have missed a trick last week when they had to settle for a 2-2 draw at home to Forest who played a chunk of the game with 10 men. That was their third straight draw, a sequence which started at Arsenal (1-1) who also played with 10 men for more than half the game.
The Verdict
A home win would be most welcome for Chelsea but Brighton have a bit more about them defensively this season and I would rather side with 2-3 goals in total regardless of the outcome of the match result.

Everton 17/10 Draw 24/10 Palace 1.55/1
Everton's first point of the season came at the fifth time of asking when they came away from Leicester with a 1-1 draw. They scored first in that game and were pegged back though they didn't surrender as they had done in 2 previous matches at home to Bournemouth and away at Villa where 2-0 leads turned into 3-2 defeats.
Palace have just the 3 points from their first 5 matches which were earned from draws in their last 3 outings, at home to Man United (0-0), at Chelsea (1-1) and at home to Leicester (2-2).
The Verdict
Neither side inspires me right now and the draw looks a runner to me.

Notts Forest 14/10 Draw 23/10 Fulham 2/1
Forest are unbeaten with 2 wins and 3 draws to their name. They had Gibbs-White red carded at Brighton last week but still drew 2-2. Their stand out result is a 1-0 win at Liverpool but they are still looking for a first home win after games against Bournemouth and Wolves both ended in a 1-1 draw.
Fulham have 8 points from 5 matches and they put in a very decent shift in last week's 3-1 home win over Newcastle. Earlier results in their 2 road trips comprise of a 1-0 defeat away to Man United and a 1-1 draw at Ipswich.
The Verdict
Encouraging performances and results from both sides so far. Forest are not exactly free scoring but Chris Wood is their most likely man in front of goal.

Wolves 13/2 Draw 4.25/1 Liverpool 0.37/1
Wolves have just the 1 point which came in a draw at Forest in their third outing. They have conceded 14 goals, the joint highest in the top flight and 6 of those came at home to Chelsea whilst one other home game saw them go down 2-1 to Newcastle.
Liverpool bounced back from their shock home defeat to Forest with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield last week and they finished the round 1 point off the pace being set by City. They have kept clean sheets in all 4 of their league wins including away fixtures at Ipswich (2-0) and Man United (3-0)
The Verdict
Tough times for Wolves and it could easily get worse here. I'm sticking with Alexander-Arnold in the anytime goalscorer market.
